It’s important to note that Seantrel Henderson has NOT, I repeat NOT signed with USC.

He has pledged his verbal commitment and he is waiting until the NCAA hearings from Feb. 19-21 to see if any sanctions are forthcoming for USC’s program.

I second the bravo to TPrince’s brilliance. The opportunity to wear the colors is one that is rarely afforded and should be the great honor that it is. They get “5 star” players regularly in South Bend. See how well that has turned out for them. We want players, we want student-athletes, we want men and men of honor who will take this moment and build on it. There are Buckeyes and those who wish that they could be. O! H!

Good luck in LA Seantrel…. where the only question will be who will leave first? You or the Lanester?

Bravo TPrince. I love the rules. Here’s another. Your press conference/signing ceremony should be at the school [italics] with your teammates who helped you get to the next level.[end italics] If you an’t recognize the teamwork aspect of your success, go play for USC. I’m sure Taylor Mays will be happy to show you the ropes.

Rod hits the line hard. Going to be sweet to watch our backs this year.

Yeah, good point about Smith’s breakaway speed. Once he broke the line of scrimmage, he just ran away from everyone; probably much to the DB’s relief.

Ron, if the OSU recruiting staff did what TPrince says we wouldn’t have only one OL guy in this class. I agree with TPrince, the staff needs to quit playing with these prima donnas and get focused on the really quality character kids still with great talent. There are plenty out there.

I agree with Ken here with the Ray Small’s Dad comparison with Henderson. I heard on the radio the other day that Snoop Dogg was going to help Henderson’s Dad get his rap career going if Henderson signed with USC. Apparently the offer from the rapping bum to do the same wasn’t enough to get Henderson to OSU.

On a bigger note-did anybody else notice how fast Rod Smith is in that highlight video and how is breakaway speed is quite the asset?

nause, I tend to agree with you on this Henderson escapade. My “red flags” went up with the family traipsing to NYC for signing (or not) festivities. All that I was thinking is that this family is pretty full of itself and that I see another Ray Small-type helicopter dad situation. You know what; if he signs with OSU, fine; if not, I’m okay with that as well.

TPrince,

I think the OSU recruiting staff does, essentially, what you’re talking about. Sometimes that’ll cost you a 5-star who wants to be babied, empowered, and pampered by the recruiters. 2-star prospects eagerly sign-up for all of the above criteria. No problem. Agonizing over Texas/tOSU offers, I can see. But Lane Kiffin over tOSU? wtf? I guess 18 year-old kids use a different selection criteria than an old man like me.

I really appreciate the recruits who know their own mind and make early, decisive decisions. I look forward to better knowing them all. For their sake, I do not call this class a “disappointment” (we just need more OL guys next year).

first of all…Anderson and Henderson signed with nobody….2nd, after watching the show that is Henderson…then watching da-da state they holding off signing with USC,,,these two have some serious baggage and i am not sure that is worth it. This family is trouble.
